In addition to core-collapse, a burst of neutrinos is also expected from the other two kinds of supernovae: Type Ia supernovae (SN-Iae) and pair-instability supernoave (PISNe). The leading hypothesis is that SN-Iae are the thermonuclear explosion of a carbon-oxygen white dwarf but the exact explosion mechanism is still a matter of debate. Pair-instability supernovae are the explosions of very...
